My transcription from the album "I Belong to Glasgow: Greatest Hits of Will Fyffe" (2011), as found at Spotify:
UNCLE MAC As sung by Will Fyffe
I landed from the colonies a week or two ago, Where I made a lot o money, an I'm proud to let ye know Upon an emigration scheme I sailed frae Scotland's shore. Noo I've seen all I want to see, an I'm sailin back once more.
CHORUS: I'm rich Uncle Mac from the colonies way back. I landed hame withoot the slightest warnin, But I found relations funny; for they're after all ma money, So I'm sailin back again tomorrow mornin.
I'd about a thousand relatives ta meet me on the pier. Half o them were roond ma neck; the others on ma ear. 'Twas uncle this an uncle that an "How much have ye got?" I don't know who to leave it to, so I think I'll keep the lot.
